The present invention relates to a call processing message converter and
message converting method in an IP-PBX system, capable of controlling IP
terminals equally to legacy terminals by transceiving user information
with IP terminals. The message converter works best especially for the
IP-PBX system, wherein the system includes: a hub connected to an
Internet protocol (IP) network, having a plurality of LAN communication
ports; user information interface connected to the LAN communication port
of the hub for generating user information and for outputting the
generated user information or for converting received exchange user
information to an identifiable state to users; at least one IP terminal
for performing VoIP function in conforming to a pre-designated data
communication protocol procedure; IP driver connected to the LAN
communication port of the hub for controlling Internet protocol
endpoints; and IP-PBX, mounted with a database where telephone numbers of
a legacy terminal and the plurality of IP terminals and corresponding
terminal information, and an exchange interface and a gateway connected
to the LAN communication port of the hub, respectively, for conducting
call processing services corresponding to user information that is sent
to the exchange interface and call connection information that is
generated from the legacy terminal. The call processing message converter
is built in the IP driver, and the converter analyzes an ARQ (Admission
request) message transported from a terminating IP terminal, transports
port information and digit information of the IP terminal to a call
processing module inside of the IP-PBX, and transports a termination
seizure message transported from the call processing module and user
control information of a terminating IP terminal to a terminating
terminal.
